EPA Climate Change Kids Site: The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth&'s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. ... The greenhouse effect is important.

There is a greenhouse effect, but, if there were not, we would all be dead! It is becoming increasingly clear that we are also experencing global warming, but, that is a different matter. Global warming is the name given to an expected increase in the magnitude of the greenhouse effect, whereby the surface of the...

The greenhouse effect is an increase in the temperature of a planet as heat energy from sunlight is trapped by the gaseous atmosphere. Excess carbon dioxide and water vapor increase this warming effect.. ... The size of the atmosphere in the illustration above is greatly exaggerated in order to show the greenhouse effect.

This is called the Greenhouse Effect . Over the past century, the Earth has increased in temperature by about .5 degrees Celsius and many scientists believe this is because of an increase in concentration of the main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorocarbons.
